OK, now that THAT is out of the way.
I had MASSIVE troubles with the first Mapex drum kit I ordered from Musician's Friend. The first kit showed up with two different finishes on it. I sent that one back and the sent the second set to my PO Box. I only got two boxes, never got the third and the two that I did get were two different finishes again.

I decided to just cancel the order altogether and start fresh. After a long wait and a few more phone calls, they finally refunded my money.
I was a little apprehensive about dealing with MF again, but I called them again last Tuesday and decided to order a Tama kit this time. They gave me a pretty decent discount because of the last order, so I went for it. The kit arrived yesterday and it looks beautiful! THIS is the Musician's Freind that I always dealt with in the past.
